    THE HERALDRY OF THE MACLEAYS AND THEIR KIN: THE ARMS OF WILLIAM MACLEAY, HIS SONS, AND THEIR MALE DESCENDANTS Stephen Michael Szabo Heraldic Consultant, Sydney INTRODUCTION In an earlier article1 I gave a brief account of the life of Alexander Macleay following his arrival in Sydney in 1826 and up to his death twenty-two years later. I noted that there had been little or no scholarly examination of the use of coats of arms and similar heraldic identifiers by Alexander Macleay and his kin by either blood or marriage, and ventured that such an examination, which I hoped to carry out, might reveal something about identity, aspiration and kinship in the Scottish diaspora in colonial New South Wales. The present article narrows its focus to look at the ancestry of Alexander Macleay, how his father acquired legitimately granted arms, and what use of these arms was made by various male family members to declare their social status. ANCESTRY The Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) tells us that Alexander Macleay was: the son of William Macleay, provost of Wick and deputy-lieutenant of Caithness. He was descended from an ancient family which came from Ulster; at the Reformation the family had substantial landholdings in Scotland, but by loyalty to the Stuarts suffered severe losses after the battle of Culloden.2 The ADB entry for Alexander’s son George claims that “the McLeays [were] an old Caithness landed family.”3 The latter is not entirely true, for it seems that the Macleays were newly settled in the late eighteenth century in Caithness, but they had indeed 1 Stephen Michael Szabo, ‘The Heraldry of The Macleays and Their Kin: Scottish Heraldry and Its Australian Context’, Journal of the Sydney Society for Scottish History, Vol.

  • The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941
    The Rifle Club Movement and Australian Defence 1860-1941 Andrew Kilsby A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences February 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the rifle club movement and its relationship with Australian defence to 1941. It looks at the origins and evolution of the rifle clubs and associations within the context of defence developments. It analyses their leadership, structure, levels of Government and Defence support, motivations and activities, focusing on the peak bodies. The primary question addressed is: why the rifle club movement, despite its strong association with military rifle shooting, failed to realise its potential as an active military reserve, leading it to be by-passed by the military as an effective force in two world wars? In the 19th century, what became known as the rifle club movement evolved alongside defence developments in the Australian colonies. Rifle associations were formed to support the Volunteers and later Militia forces, with the first ‘national’ rifle association formed in 1888. Defence authorities came to see rifle clubs, especially the popular civilian rifle clubs, as a cheap defence asset, and demanded more control in return for ammunition grants, free rail travel and use of rifle ranges. At the same time, civilian rifle clubs grew in influence within their associations and their members resisted military control. An essential contradiction developed. The military wanted rifle clubs to conduct shooting ‘under service conditions’, which included drill; the rifle clubs preferred their traditional target shooting for money prizes.

  • SIR SAUL SAMUEL Papers, 1837-1900 Reel M875

Birchwood Beech Close Cobham, Surrey National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973 CONTENTS Page 3 Biographical note 4 Correspondence of Charles Cowper and Saul Samuel, 1865-70 4 Letters of Lord Belmore to Saul Samuel, 1868-85 4 General correspondence, 1837-73 5 General correspondence, 1873-1900 12 Letters of Sir Henry Parkes to Saul Samuel, 1872-90 12 Undated letters 13 Invitations 13 Samuel Family papers, 1889-98 2 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Saul Samuel (1820-1900), 1st Baronet, was born in London. His father died before he was born and in 1832 he accompanied his mother to New South Wales, where his uncle and his brother were already living. He was educated at Sydney College and in 1837 he joined the Sydney counting-house of his uncles. With his brother Lewis, he later formed the Sydney mercantile company of L. & S. Samuel and in time became a director of several companies based in Bathurst. Samuel was the first Jewish parliamentarian and the first Jewish minister of the Crown in New South Wales. He represented the counties of Roxburgh and Wellington in the Legislative Council in 1854- 56. In the Legislative Assembly he represented Orange in 1859-60, Wellington in 1862-69 and Orange in 1869-72. He returned to the Legislative Council in 1872. In 1865-66 and 1868-70 Samuel was Colonial Treasurer in the ministries led by Charles Cowper and John Robertson. He was postmaster-general in the ministries led by Henry Parkes in 1872-75, 1877 and 1878-80.

  • Rare and Curious Specimens, an Illustrated
    The attempt of the Philosophical Society of Australasia to create a colonial museum was as premature as its effort to provide a scientific forum. After the demise of the society in 1822, no public interest seems to have been evinced until June 1827 * when a Sydney newspaper offered A HINT- We should be glad to perceive amongst some of our intelligent and public­ spirited Colonists, more of a drive to prosecute the public weal than at present exists. Amongst other improvements, in these times, would there be any harm in suggesting the idea offounding an AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM? The earlier that such an institution is formed, the better it will be for posterity. 1 What stimulated the hint is unrecorded but it is not unreasonable to suppose that the arrival in Sydney in January 1826 of a new Colonial Secretary may have had something to do with it. Alexander Macleay, FRS, Fellow of the Linnean Society of London and honorary secretary of that prestigious institution from 1798 until1825, had resigned this position at the express request of Earl Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to become head of the public service of New South Wales. He was fifty-nine years old when he came to Sydney, having retired from the British civil service on a substantial pension in 1818, but age was no impediment to his activity. He worked in close harmony with Governor Darling and his abrupt dismissal by Governor Bourke in 1837 aroused considerable dissent from the general public of New South Wales, who held him in high esteem as an honest and hard-working administrator.

In 1784 a young English medical student, James Edward Smith, purchased from Linneaus’s son most of the Linnean private collection of books, manuscripts and natural history specimens. Four years later Smith founded the Linnean Society. In 1802, when the Linnean Society of London received a royal charter, it comprised 228 fellows. Smith was president of the Society from 1788 until his death in 1828. The Society has been based at Burlington House since 1857. It began publishing its Transactions in 1791, while the Proceedings of the Linnean Society first appeared in 1839. Subsequently it published the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (1856+) and the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society (1856+). Fellows of the Linnean Society resident in Australia in the nineteenth century included William Archer, George Bennett, Sir Thomas Brisbane, George Everett, George W.

In 1784 a young English medical student, James Edward Smith, purchased from Linneaus’s son most of the Linnean private collection of books, manuscripts and natural history specimens. Four years later Smith founded the Linnean Society. In 1802, when the Linnean Society of London received a royal charter, it comprised 228 fellows. Smith was president of the Society from 1788 until his death in 1828. The Society has been based at Burlington House since 1857. It began publishing its Transactions in 1791, while the Proceedings of the Linnean Society first appeared in 1839. Subsequently it published the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (1856+) and the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society (1856+).
